Troubleshooting
Server Requirements:
PHP 5

If you get an error:

The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL http://www.SITEURL.com/xd_receiver.h...%220.699%22%7D must have the application's callback URL http://www.SITEURL.com/forums/ as a prefix. You can configure the callback URL in the application's settings.

Means that there is something wrong with your callback URL. Your callback URL must be where xd_receiver.htm is; so when you enter [callbackurl]/xd_receiver.htm into your browser you should see a blank page (not a 404 page not found error or anything else).

If you get a continues this means there is a javascript error. Make sure you've done all the template edits correctly (especially footer & navbar). Clear your cache and reload the page.

If nothing happens when you click the Facebook Connect button make sure your callback url domain is the same as you forum domain (the one set in your forum settings) - more specifically make sure that there is a www (or isn't) in both domains.


Many more features may be implemented in the future so keep checking for updates.

Something to do with your Hebrew2 style (using IE8 Beta), as it works fine under English (US). Sorry it's not a solution but it might help. Both styles work fine under Minefield(Firefox) x64.

I notice a number of HTML errors in your code which are no doubt causing the spacing issue: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...e&group=0&ss=1

I would try fixing those one at a time first and then see if you still have a problem. Do them in order, as these types of problems tend to cascade. One fix can correct dozens more.

I notice that if a member has both account on FB and the forum, when they log in with their FB id, it will create a new forum member. Is this the intended purpose?

Merging Users:

I didn't read all the topics, so maybe this has been mentioned, but here is a possible work around for letting current members set up their face book accounts.

1: read: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/users_merge

2: Get current members with facebook to log in with their facebook accounts and us a nick name as 'username2' or something.

3. Then merge this user with their current forum username.

I havent tried it yet, but I assume that it will work.




* Edit, I found Jedi's post where he said that current nick name can be used. I have to try this out.

I have a major problem.

When New Users register by using the facebook connect their facebook email IS NOT ported over the vBulletin database. How do I solve this?

it doesnt also port over anything you mapped, which kinda kills this for me.
